Hi.
Game development is not an easy task for a solo developer. There are many different factors to consider in order to give the player a really good product. Let\'s talk a little about the game.
Your talent is your enemy.
I really like this take. Many people are proud of their achievements. However, this facet takes people to the other side, where they find themselves at the bottom from which it is difficult to get out. People refuse to change and they are dragged down even further.

The world of SFUMATO is a transitional state of a person.
Leonardo da Vinci used the SFUMATO technique for smooth transitions between colors and tones.
I use this technique for people who are stuck in their transitional state, where a person sees the whole world in a fog. Thoughts do not form a clear structure and the person remains misunderstood.
re-SFUMATO
The old game design is overloaded, ugly, and complex.
The new game design is minimalist, aesthetic, and simple.
I hope you also stopped at the new design.

Minimalism
I want to give YOU space for thoughts. This does not mean that the locations in the game will be empty. I really like the game Limbo, where the plot is not told to you, but shown!

That\'s all for now. I will try to write blogs often so that you get some information about the game. I\'m glad I didn\'t cancel the game. This time, I will not give up!
SFUMATO is a 2D psychological horror game where Justian has to escape from the nightmare of the city. The game is about accepting your mistakes, anger, madness and discovery.
STORY
Justian wakes up after a nightmare and notices the sketches are missing. He can't leave his apartment. The city is drowning in fog. Your journey becomes a nightmare. Accepting your mistakes is the only way out ...Justian loves to paint, but his problems in life, just keep him down. He wants to become a famous artist to earn money to live and become free. Those close to him support him in his endeavors. But...
Developer's words:
I rejected the psychological problems of the hero and wrote a story that can happen to anyone. A man who chose the wrong path, and this path led him to serious consequences. Some locations in the game are rewritten dreams from a diary. During development, I started spending a lot of time dreaming and writing them down in my diary.
The world of SFUMATO is between the real and the fictional.
At night, Justian begins sketching anger-filled sketches. He loses consciousness and finds himself in a completely different world. Ordinary things begin to distort and reveal themselves from other sides. His apartment has become a space between reality and madness.
After a nightmare, Justian notices the blank canvases next to which a path leading to another room. Outside the window there is a thick fog where a small ray of sunshine can be seen. The keys to the apartment, are missing and the door won't unlock. It remains only to follow the black trail.....
Developer's words:
The story of SFUMATO is my personal life story in which I will find what I am going after. If you're doing something you don't like. You should consider throwing off your chains.
I really hope that my game, you will enjoy and give an unusual experience. I am waiting for your click on the button - add to wishlist.
